Curate, connect, and discover
I have a theory.
The Right thinks that DEI/affirmative action/etc. elevates mediocrity because of the dismal quality of their own tokens.
Look no further than the fashion designers, musicians, filmmakers, actors, drag performers, and other, ahem, "creative" types who went MAGA for proof, especially the queer and/or non-white among them. They're tiny-ass, undistinguished fish in ponds so small and undisturbed by talent that they're not even qualified to be tempests in teacups.
